hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. voters in the united states have been taking part in the crucial midterm elections when members of the us congress are elected. congress is split into the house of representatives, the lower house, like the house of commons, and the us senate, the upper house, which can approve, change or block laws passed by the house. for the past two years the democratic party has controlled both house and senate, which has allowed president biden to pass the laws he wants. but if either the house or senate or both are controlled

by the republicans, the president's agenda is likely to be blocked. immigration, crime, the cost of living, and abortion rights have dominated this election campaign. let's find out the very latest on which results have been declared with peter bowes who's in la. talk to us about what we know so far, we have been hearing that it will be several days until we get a definitive result but were nonetheless what is happening overnight? i nonetheless what is happening overni . ht? ~ , nonetheless what is happening overniuht? ~' , , ., , ., overnight? i think the big story of the niuht overnight? i think the big story of the night is _ overnight? i think the big story of the night is it _ overnight? i think the big story of the night is it has _ overnight? i think the big story of the night is it has been _ the night is it has been surprisingly good for the democrats, disappointing for the republicans. as we went into election day, there was talk of a republican wave crashing across the country. it's been a more of a ripple, there have been a more of a ripple, there have been significant successes for the democrats, a senate seat in

pennsylvania, others are still too close to call in arizona, in nevada. here in california, a predominantly democratic state, most of the races that we have results for so far have gone as expected. a significant decision in terms of abortion enshrining a woman's right to an abortion into the state constitution. that decision does not affect the senate and house of representatives, though, and there are still votes to be counted with some of the congressional seats here in california, about half a dozen, again, too close to call. the votes will be counted over the next couple of days. whichever way they go, it could have a significant impact on the house of representatives. where does this leave american politics? it might well energise the biden presidency, and give republicans pause to think about what their next move is. we know that donald trump next tuesday is still scheduled to

make as he is describing it a major announcement, the likelihood is, we still think he will announce he will stand for the presidency again. you touched on — stand for the presidency again. you touched on the wider picture, give us a sense of where this leaves us politics, we know pretty divided and polarised, what does it tell us about how america is voting? it tells us that this country is not perhaps as disillusioned with the joe biden presidency as a lot of commentators, a lot of pundits thought. that perhaps there is still some mileage in whatjoe biden has been trying to do. i have still got to stress that we do not know the final results of this election. it could still go either way in the senate and the house of representatives, and if the republicans take either of those houses, it would really stifle joe biden in terms of his goals for the next two years. it would be a

deadlock to government from all perspectives. but if the democrats managed to hold onto the house, and the senate, that will give joe managed to hold onto the house, and the senate, that will givejoe biden scope to perhaps pursue his agenda further over the next two years. good to talk to you, thank you very much, peter in los angeles. you can tell from the backdrop... is very dramatic! you can tell from the backdrop. .. is very dramatic! i _ you can tell from the backdrop... is very dramatic! i like _ you can tell from the backdrop... is very dramatic! i like this _ very dramatic! i like this particularly _ very dramatic! i like this particularly because - very dramatic! i like this particularly because it . very dramatic! i like this . particularly because it gives very dramatic! i like this - particularly because it gives you a little _ particularly because it gives you a little crown. it looked like the statue — little crown. it looked like the statue of— little crown. it looked like the statue of liberty.— statue of liberty. thank you, thanks. after— statue of liberty. thank you, thanks. after all— statue of liberty. thank you, thanks. after all these - statue of liberty. thank you, thanks. after all these years | statue of liberty. thank you, l thanks. after all these years of talkin: thanks. after all these years of talking about _ thanks. after all these years of talking about qatar— thanks. after all these years of talking about qatar it - thanks. after all these years of talking about qatar it is - thanks. after all these years of talking about qatar it is in - thanks. after all these years of talking about qatar it is in a . thanks. after all these years of| talking about qatar it is in a few days. it talking about qatar it is in a few da s. , ., ' . talking about qatar it is in a few da s. , . , . ., talking about qatar it is in a few das. q ., ., days. it is a difficult one to assess where _ days. it is a difficult one to assess where we _ days. it is a difficult one to assess where we are - days. it is a difficult one to assess where we are at, i days. it is a difficult one to | assess where we are at, we days. it is a difficult one to - assess where we are at, we have the world cup on the horizon which is broadly very exciting, and the first to be in the winter, the whole tournament has been plagued by these issues in the lead up around the rights of migrant workers, women's rights, gay rights, and those are not going away. especially following

some comments that have been made overnight by a world cup ambassador in relation to homosexuality in which he said, homosexuality is damage in the mind. it will not allay any fears for any potential fans travelling out their who, what reception are they going to get? that is the question many are going to be asking themselves. issues raised about the reception that awaits fans following the comment from khalid salman about homosexuality. ever since qatar won the bid in contractual circumstances, it has been plagued with issues about issues over gay rights and women's rights, being gay is punishable with a rest or even prison in qatar. his comments have been widely condemned. for a world cu - , been widely condemned. for a world cu, a lot been widely condemned. for a world cup. a lot of— been widely condemned. for a world cup, a lot of things _ been widely condemned. for a world cup, a lot of things have _ been widely condemned. for a world cup, a lot of things have been - cup, a lot of things have been coming — cup, a lot of things have been coming here to say about the game.

it is a big, big organisation, it needs, also, a big country. qatar is too small to do that, i said to myself. i was right at a certain time to say we should not go there. we can get more on this now. we're joined now by ryan atkin, england's first openly gay professional football referee. good morning. good morning. can i aet our good morning. good morning. can i get your reflection _ good morning. good morning. can i get your reflection and _ good morning. good morning. can i get your reflection and reaction to those comments that we heard there? it is extremely damaging, and let's be honest, it is not an open invite to tell. we have seen comments from an acetate representing their organisation, in qatar, we know that i was actually —— that homosexuality is illegal. if you have got to stand up is illegal. if you have got to stand up and be counted because they are taking the world cup 201, it is happening and all of the media interest is not on the football which is such a shame but actually

on human rights and the comments being made over the lgbtq plus community. being made over the lgbtq plus community-— being made over the lgbtq plus communi . , _, , _, , community. these comments come days awa from community. these comments come days away from the — community. these comments come days away from the start _ community. these comments come days away from the start of _ community. these comments come days away from the start of the _ away from the start of the tournament, what would you say to any gate than thinking of travelling to the world cup? i any gate than thinking of travelling to the world cup?— any gate than thinking of travelling to the world cup? i hope within the stadiums that _ to the world cup? i hope within the stadiums that people _ to the world cup? i hope within the stadiums that people can _ to the world cup? i hope within the stadiums that people can raise - to the world cup? i hope within the stadiums that people can raise a i stadiums that people can raise a rainbow flag and hold hands. 0utside rainbow flag and hold hands. outside the stadium unfortunately we have seen the comments on what has happened to people like peter tatchell, doctor naz mohammed who is now living in the united states of america, who has been a voice for those qatari individuals who are lgbtq plus who cannot be open about their sexuality. the key message for me is, just to be safe and make sure that you are in a safe place for what you are doing. the that you are in a safe place for what you are doing. the english fa sa the what you are doing. the english fa say they have _ what you are doing. the english fa say they have been _ what you are doing. the english fa say they have been given _ what you are doing. the english fa i say they have been given assurances tjy say they have been given assurances by those organising the world cup in

qatar that fans will not be arrested for kissing in public or holding hands. do you believe them? unfortunately, i don't. hands. do you believe them? unfortunately, idon�*t. it's hands. do you believe them? unfortunately, i don't. it's not that i don't necessarily believe a fifa, i'm more concerned about the qatari officials and their own stance on how they will deal with things like that. we have got to remember, fever is looking to promote the next couple of world cups, we had morocco recently listed in the top two for the upcoming world cup, and potentially 2030 saudi arabia. what does that say about fifa and their stance on human rights when they are potentially looking at taking the world cup to countries which you can argue, saudi arabia has even worse human rights record that qatar. i’m arabia has even worse human rights record that qatar.— record that qatar. i'm sure a lot of --eole record that qatar. i'm sure a lot of peeple and — record that qatar. i'm sure a lot of peeple and fans — record that qatar. i'm sure a lot of people and fans are _ record that qatar. i'm sure a lot of people and fans are feeling - record that qatar. i'm sure a lot of people and fans are feeling ill - record that qatar. i'm sure a lot of people and fans are feeling ill at i people and fans are feeling ill at ease at the moment in the lead up to what should be a very exciting time, england and wales both competing in the world cup. but for many fans, i think they will feel uncomfortable with so many of these issues being

played out in the background. yes. played out in the background. yes, we have seen _ played out in the background. is: we have seen footballers take played out in the background. 12: we have seen footballers take a stance against racism, we saw them taking any which had such an effect here. not only in the uk but across the world —— taking a knee. a letter to say, do not use this as a political stance, that is the wrong message to clubs. football should be for all, you cannot say, it should be for all but please do not do anything which would jeopardise the tournament. at the end of the day these football stars are individuals, they have their own morals and they understand what is taking place, not only within the game but in wider society. i think not only are footballers going to feel under pressure, they have to play the that game and do what they are paid to do, but there are a lot of social elements going on behind the scenes which is going to potentially affect the mood of the world cup. i speak to friends, no one is really as energised as you should be for a world cup. if you look at the media, they are not as

energised about who is going to the world cup, but more about the host nation, and that says a lot. when we look back at qatar, it is probably likely that the history of qatar would be that it is held in 2022 and thatis would be that it is held in 2022 and that is all that we were going to remember, unfortunately. this that is all that we were going to remember, unfortunately. as an 0 enl remember, unfortunately. as an openly gay _ remember, unfortunately. as an openly gay referee, _ remember, unfortunately. as an openly gay referee, how- remember, unfortunately. as an openly gay referee, how would l remember, unfortunately. as an i openly gay referee, how would you feel if you are about to go and work there? i feel if you are about to go and work there? ., , , ., there? i would be extremely worried and i there? i would be extremely worried and i would — there? i would be extremely worried and i would have _ there? i would be extremely worried and i would have to _ there? i would be extremely worried and i would have to question - there? i would be extremely worried | and i would have to question myself, if i was at that elite level, whether it was something i wanted to do, or if i was on that pathway some years ago, whether it would be the right decision for me to come out publicly. that's a decision that we have seen gary lineker make comments around that he is hopeful that some players will come out as lgbtq plus in qatar, i don't see that with the current comments being made by qatar and defect themselves. ==

and breezy. these aren't their sustained wind speeds, nothing too strong there, the gusts will be higher in the north and west. 11 to 15 degrees. this evening and overnight, clearskies 15 degrees. this evening and overnight, clear skies to start with and another weather front coming in introducing cloud, patchy drizzle across parts of western england, and wales and northern ireland, and rain moving across scotland. the wind is going to pick up the night, in the north and the west, and these are our overnight lows. nine to 1a degrees, very mild for the time of year. tomorrow, we have still got low pressure with us, high pressure in the south, effectively blocking the weather front from making much progress south. the isobars tell you it is going to be windy. the wind is coming from a mild direction, from the mid—atlantic. it is pulling mild air across the sills. during the

course of their stay we will have some sunshine in the east, patchy rain and light drizzle in the west, petering out during the day. and the weather front waiting in the wings but not making much progress because of the high pressure. the black circles represent the gusts so it will be a more windy day tomorrow than today, with gales across the north west. again these temperatures, 13 to 17 degrees. the average at this stage in november is roughly ten in the north to about 12 in the south. it's a friday, our weather front has made some progress south but it then it starts to retreat further north, taking the persistent rain across northern and western scotland and northern ireland. still quite a lot of cloud ahead of it, across parts of northern england with the odd shower, but for central and eastern areas, something more dry and bright with some sunshine. into the weekend, it looks like, with less wind around, we could have some

issues with the mist and fog in the morning. especially so across parts of the south—east. the weather at the weekend will be changeable, sunshine and showers. and at the moment there is a chance that later on on sunday, we could see some rain coming in from the west. look at the temperatures, still well above what we expect, 12 to 16 degrees. really mild, thank you, carol. "a great man, an utter professional and one of walford's originals" — just some of the tributes paid to the eastenders actor bill treacher, who's died aged 92. he played arthur fowler in the soap for nine years, after appearing in the first episode in 1985. let's have a look at some of his highlights. he ain't dead, is he, doctor? not yet. the less said about this for the moment, arthur, the better. you must bejoking, doctor. yeah, the gossips will be here soon enough. dogs to a bone. arthur, i wish there _ was something i could do to help.

it tears me apart. seeing you like this. you go back, pauline. enjoy yourself. i'll be ok. well, can't be anything so bad, can it? - what have you done, been out and robbed a bank? i no. so, where did you get it? it's the christmas club money. what? i'll pay it back, pauline, every last penny. i'll pay it back somehow. eastenders doof-doofs. that was an iconic eastenders moment, the christmas club money storyline. it moment, the christmas club money sto line. : :, , we're joined now by steven murphy, who's a tv critic and former editor of inside soap magazine. good morning, stephen, thank you for talking to us this morning. ihla

people are angry with. if he is going to show himself to be that great big alpha male, that will crash and burn. and just to make sure, ant and dec have made sure they are going to do a bushtucker trial without anyone even voting for him but i'm sure they would have done anyway. ile him but i'm sure they would have done anyway-— him but i'm sure they would have donean a. , ., , ., ~' done anyway. he should be working, we are told. — done anyway. he should be working, we are told. he _ done anyway. he should be working, we are told, he is _ done anyway. he should be working, we are told, he is doing _ done anyway. he should be working, we are told, he is doing some - done anyway. he should be working, we are told, he is doing some work. we are told, he is doing some work before he entered the jungle, but he also said he was going where the voters are, and that's the point. a lot of people will watch this anti—politics in a different way as anti—politics in a different way as a result. —— and they make see politics in a different way as a result. , :, politics in a different way as a result. , ., , ., ~ result. there is a break in tradition. _ result. there is a break in tradition, normally - result. there is a break in tradition, normally when | result. there is a break in i tradition, normally when you result. there is a break in - tradition, normally when you go to the outback you have no communication whatsoever with the outside world. he has got this break clause that means you can get out if there is an emergency with his constituency and it looks like he has been communicating with the outside world will stop he will have

some idea about what people have been saying. the bottom line to your question, it is quite simple. when you go in there, you cannot really hide. the editors determine how you look. when he says he is going to reach out to people, i never said that, i was not an mp at the time but i never said that. you are not there to rehabilitate yourself. you are there to sell advertising for itv. every crash and burn moment, everything itv think that the public will want to see, will be broadcast. i always think it is naive when people say, i will get my message across. their play, he has got a lot of people talking about dyslexia but fundamentally people will be switching on to see if he can do the trials and if he is as bad as people think. iwill trials and if he is as bad as people think. i will be watching because he is my friend but millions will be watching because they are hating him. igrate watching because they are hating him. ~ :, , watching because they are hating him. : . , , . , ., watching because they are hating him. . , ,. him. we are seeing pictures of your time in the — him. we are seeing pictures of your time in the jungle _ him. we are seeing pictures of your time in the jungle at _ him. we are seeing pictures of your time in the jungle at the _ him. we are seeing pictures of your time in the jungle at the moment, l time in the jungle at the moment, you look like you had a whale of a time. i'm curious to know why you

normally people like me were also—ran, you had a token politician, i was out third. he might stay the course simply because people want to see him suffer. i'm not saying he should have gone but i don't think there is problem with him going in. it essentially a second job, him going in. it essentially a secondjob, i him going in. it essentially a second job, i don't see any difference between that and boris johnson making a fortune on the side as a journalist and lots of barristers and lawyers making a fortune out of the bar when they are still in parliament. can fortune out of the bar when they are still in parliament.— still in parliament. can he ever return to _ still in parliament. can he ever return to being _ still in parliament. can he ever return to being an _ still in parliament. can he ever return to being an mp - still in parliament. can he ever return to being an mp after- still in parliament. can he ever. return to being an mp after this? you can, as i say, nadine dorries did thejungle, got you can, as i say, nadine dorries did the jungle, got suspended you can, as i say, nadine dorries did thejungle, got suspended like matt hancock, and then got on to be a cabinet minister which will most politician is as high as you can get. so, yes, he can. especially if he is humble and he looks like the human he is portraying himself as being. the big question is, does he want to do that? 0nce being. the big question is, does he want to do that? once you have been that high up in politics, it's

almost like double dipping. what would he get by being a cabinet minister again? would he get by being a cabinet ministeragain? i don't would he get by being a cabinet minister again? i don't know, would he get by being a cabinet ministeragain? i don't know, he certainly has not told me if he is going to stand next time,... is it about what _ going to stand next time,... is it about what he _ going to stand next time,... is it about what he gets _ going to stand next time,... is it about what he gets or is it about serving the country? it’s about what he gets or is it about serving the country?— serving the country? it's a bit of both, isn't _ serving the country? it's a bit of both, isn't it? _ serving the country? it's a bit of both, isn't it? the _ serving the country? it's a bit of both, isn't it? the meaning - serving the country? it's a bit of both, isn't it? the meaning of. serving the country? it's a bit of i both, isn't it? the meaning of life is a journey that itself and its a very interesting thing to do. lots of people hate him for going on there, they say that he should not be capitalising on this poor performance as a cabinet minister. but come on, you travel this way but once. it was the crown jewel of celebrity television and i cannot see why people are so angry about this. voting for the trials orjust don't watch the programme, for goodness' sake, let's not be so woke that you don't let people do things like this. fir that you don't let people do things like this. , , ., ., ., like this. or maybe vote for him to leave. like this. or maybe vote for him to leave- that — like this. or maybe vote for him to leave. that is _ like this. or maybe vote for him to leave. that is the _ like this. or maybe vote for him to leave. that is the other _ leave. that is the other alternative.— leave. that is the other alternative. , , ., ., alternative. this is the dilemma for eo - le alternative. this is the dilemma for people who — alternative. this is the dilemma for people who really _ alternative. this is the dilemma for people who really dislike _ alternative. this is the dilemma for people who really dislike him. - alternative. this is the dilemma for people who really dislike him. the | people who really dislike him. the longer he is there, more trials you can make him do. the shorter is

good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. sir gavin williamson says he wants to clear himself of any wrongdoing, as he resigns from government after being accused of bullying. america goes to the polls, with both the senate and the house of representatives up for grabs in the midterm elections. with just 11 days to go until kick off, more controversy ahead of the world cup in qatar. a tournament ambassador says homosexuality is "damage in the mind", to widespread condemnation. being pushed into pay—as—you—go

without realising. good morning. the number of people being taken off smart meters and put on prepayment meters, has more than tripled. the regulator says some customers are being let down. and the stars turn out for the crown, as the new season gets its swanky london premiere, and is finally released. good morning. a breezy day ahead and one of sunshine and showers. fewer showers than yesterday. it will continue mild for the rest of the way. —— rest of the week. details later. good morning. it's wednesday, the 9th of november. rishi sunak�*sjudgement and leadership will come under scrutiny in the commons today, after sir gavin williamson quit the government over bullying claims, just two weeks after his appointment. mr sunak is likely to be challenged at prime minister's questions about why he made sir gavin a cabinet office minister, when he was aware of a complaint

about his behaviour. here's our political correspondentjonathan blake. returning to government just a fortnight ago, sir gavin williamson was a controversial choice. and after days of accusations about his conduct came to a head, he resigned from his ministerial role last night. in a letter to the prime minister, he wrote... on day one in number 10, rishi sunak pledged to maintain the highest of standards. this government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level. so his appointment of sir gavin williamson, previously sacked from two cabinet jobs, when he knew there

was a complaint against him, had looked increasingly risky. allegations of bullying by sir gavin have mounted since the weekend. that he sent expletive—laden text messages last month to the than chief whip. that he made bullying comments to a civil servant. and his former deputy chief whip last night accused him of unethical, unacceptable, threatening behaviour. yesterday, ministers weren't exactly rushing to his defence. as you know, there is a process going on. and last night, rishi sunak said it was with great sadness that he accepted sir gavin's resignation. but opposition parties say the prime minister's judgment is in question. we're only two weeks into his premiership. this was his cabinet that he appointed. many of these appointments were done in grubby

backroom deals to get him into downing street in the first place. and this really does go to the heart of hisjudgment. and a sense from some conservative mps he will not be hugely missed. sir gavin said he would not take the severance pay ministers were entitled to, tweeting last night that it was taxpayers' money and should go instead towards the government's priorities. rishi sunak has lost a close political ally two weeks into his premiership. and left a notoriously ruthless operator watching on from the conservative backbenches. jonathan blake, bbc news. let's speak to nick eardley from downing street. gavin williamson has gone, but the questions remain for a rishi sunak?— rishi sunak? they do. ultimately, it was the drip. _ rishi sunak? they do. ultimately, it was the drip, drip, _ rishi sunak? they do. ultimately, it was the drip, drip, drip _ rishi sunak? they do. ultimately, it was the drip, drip, drip of— was the drip, drip, drip of allegations that we saw yesterday, that led to gavin's resignation. he met rishi sunak early evening in

downing street, about six o'clock, and said he thought it was right to go. it is important to point that out. sir gavin resigned, he was not pushed by number 10. out. sir gavin resigned, he was not pushed by number10. i out. sir gavin resigned, he was not pushed by number 10. i think the prime minister will inevitably face some questions now about his judgment, about the decision to bring sir gavin into cabinet in the first place. when he knew there had been a complaint from the former chief whip, wendy morton, about sir gavin, when he knew that some conservative mps had concerns about sir gavin's conduct in the past. then there is that question about why it took so long for the sir gavin to be removed from government and why he was not sacked. it's really interesting that in the letters they exchanged last night, rishi sunak talked about how sad he was that sir gavin was standing back from the government. some will question why there wasn't a sacking. why is sir gavin wasn't told to go by the prime minister, given some of

the allegations that he was facing. labour might reckon that all of this just shows the prime minister is weak, that when he put his cabinet together, he was desperate to give —— get different parts of the party around the table, and to do that he sacrificed some of the integrity he promised when he stood there a fortnight ago. i wouldn't be surprised if we hear more about this during the day. bursa; surprised if we hear more about this during the day-— during the day. busy day ahead. thank you- _ republicans appear to have performed less well than they had hoped in the us mid—term elections. they are likely to still be on course to take the house of representatives by a narrow margin, which could paralyse president biden's administrator. the race for the senate is also expected to be tight and the final outcome may not be known for several days. nomia iqbal has the latest. this was a win president biden wanted. the hoodie wearing democrat triumphed over the tv celebrity,

the numbers have been amazing so far — now, i this isjust up until this point — but as of this moment - on endorsements... with the nominations - we had, uh, a total of 330 endorsements or nominations — this is only in nominations, - this isn't for tonight — - and of the 330 we won 200. we won 324. the current president was also sending congratulations to winning democratic party members. the republicans are tipped to win the house. an overall the battle for the house. an overall the battle for the senate is too close to call. election night doesn't mean results night. millions of votes are still being counted. so it could be days before the outcome of the midterms really come into focus. there is more information, including the big moments to watch out for, and

is colette smith. something is happening to hundreds of thousands of smart meters and most customers don't even know it is possible. once a smart meter is installed, it is a simple process for a supplier to flip you to prepayment mode at the push of a button. they don't have to apply for a warrant or install a physical box in your home. the regulator 0fgem hasjust met with debt charities to decide if they need to strengthen protection for customers. people not being contacted and suddenly having their meter switched to prepayment can be really challenging, particularly for people in vulnerable circumstances. there should be protections for those people in place, but it is becoming more and more and more evident that actually those protections are not always being followed. while we were filming with christians against poverty, somebody called the helpline with this very problem. i understand you are having trouble with the prepayment meter, is that right? what seems to be the problem? what we would like to see is suppliers to take

this more seriously, to take a lot more care over how they are treating customers at the moment. the rules say switching a smart meter remotely to prepayment mode should only ever happen as a last resort, that customers should be told a week in advance, and that suppliers give them all the information they need to make payments under the new system. but that is not being followed by all suppliers. we have spoken to a number of customers who say they didn't have a clue what was happening when there meter switch. and that is a story being echoed across the country. absolutely. we are seeing this more and more frequently. it wouldn't be surprising to see cases like this coming through every week now. citizens advice say they think about half of those forced onto prepayment meters this year will be via a smart meter being remotely switched. and they're worried about that. there's a lot of benefit to be taken from people being on smart meters, but that remote switching process does mean that there is a risk that people might end

up being disconnected if they are unaware they are on a prepayment meter. this is disconnection via the back door. since we began asking questions on this issue, the regulator has now written to all suppliers telling them to stick to the rules. so we're aware that the numbers of prepayment mode switches have increased, up to 60,000 in the last quarter. it's important these are done right. now we do know it is a tough time for consumers. i speak to consumers all the time. but people have to recognise that some consumers do choose that prepayment product, because it can help budgeting and managing the finances. what we are saying is suppliers should carry out robust checks. it is about the process, not the product. being cut off from your gas and electricity in winter has more serious consequences. colletta smith, bbc news, manchester.

we arejoined by we are joined by the director of adequate —— advocacy at energy uk, the industry body representing energy suppliers. good morning. pretty clear that suppliers are not being as being as transparent as they need to be and they are failing their most vulnerable customers? i think on the transparency point, we will know of the year the figures for where we are on people who have been switched to prepayment meter. it does seem there are some mistakes being made. it is important 0fgem does take action. i am glad of the regulator has written to suppliers. suppliers should be following the rules and taking every reasonable step to ensure that people, that they are checking people's circumstances, and also discussing different repayment rates. the person you spoke to from 0fgem was spot on. it is the process, not the product. a lot of people do like prepay as a way to budgeting. given

the ramp goes down and you do... you run like mad to get off the beach. and once off that beach, you know, ifinished up clearing mines and booby traps and every other bit of stuff that was there. george batts and his fellow sappers were tasked with clearing german minefields. vital as men and machines landed in northern france and fought their way through to liberate europe. like the other veterans, george never forgot the friends and comrades who died in the battle for normandy. he was determined that there should be a lasting memorial dedicated to the 22,41i2 people under british command who lost their lives. and when he met nicholas witchell in 2015, an idea was born and the british normandy memorial trust was created. after five years of persuading,

planning and fundraising, george's dream became a reality, cast in stone, and he was able to see it for himself last october. i'm delighted with the result. to see it now in the form that it's in, it's beyond belief and beyond my dreams. i never thought it would be like this, but i'm so delighted it is. got to the end of the road... just like his fellow d—day veteran harry billinge, george dedicated so much of his time to creating this memorial. their determination saw the vision and hopes of so many others realised. a legacy that for generations to come will ensure that their friends, and the sacrifices they made, will be remembered forevermore. and in the morning, we will remember them. we will remember.

than yesterday, windy but not as breezy as the last few days. low pressure is in charge of the weather, the northwest will have the strongest winds and we have a ridge of high pressure building in and that will cap the showers. this is where the showers have been to the course of the morning will stop some of them have been driven in. as we come to the day, we continue with the sunshine and showers. the wind speeds today, not particularly strong. this is the average wind speed, stronger towards the north—west and the gusts will be higher than this, temperatures ranging from i! in the north to 15 as we push down towards the south. as we had to the evening and overnight there will be clear skies, another weather front coming in introduces some cloud into england, wales and northern ireland but rain

moving north in scotland and clipping the finals of england. i! to 14 degrees, mild for this stage in november. tomorrow, we have got a lot of isobars in the charts, it is going to be a windy day tomorrow, gales in the north—west. and i —— the ridge of high pressure is keeping the weather fronts at a in the north and west. dragging in the milder and warmer air from the mid—atlantic so that tells you a story. we start with some breaks in the cloud and sunny spells, towards the cloud and sunny spells, towards the west there will be patchy drizzle here and there, these weather fronts are being drizzle here and there, these weatherfronts are being kept drizzle here and there, these weather fronts are being kept at bay but still bringing in some rain across the north and west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, and gusty winds, especially across the north—west where we will be looking at gales. even inland the wind will be noticeable. if you have been sweeping up leaves, you will be

doing it again by the end of the week. 13 degrees to 70 degrees. the average daytime —— 17 degrees. the average daytime —— 17 degrees. the average daytime —— 17 degrees. the average daytime temperatures are 2012 so we are above average. —— 10—12. a band of rain will retreat north on friday, getting into northern ireland. ahead of it they will be cloud around, but for central and eastern areas, we are looking at something drier and brighter and mild. we could have some issues with mist and fog over the weekend in the south—east to start the day which will be slow to clear, then sunshine and showers, temperatures are still above average. sunday we might see a weather front bringing some rain into the west later in the day. it is still definitely not big coat when there we have established. maybe not even heating weather. definitely not heating weather!
